Twitter justified blocking the ''New York Post's'' scoop on the Biden Burisma scandal claiming it violated Twitter's "Hacked Material Policy." The policy “prohibits the use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization” because, they said, they “don’t want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials.”  That standard would result in the banning from the platform the ''[[Pentagon Papers]]'' which ultimately toppled [[Richard Nixon]], the [[Snowden]] reporting, the [[Panama Papers]], the [[DNC]] and [[John Podesta|Podesta emails]] that exposed corruption and forced the 2016 resignation of the top five officials of the [[Democratic National Committee]], and President Trump's tax returns.
